Stopped by the studio today for a low key tour.  Friendly staff member Jason greeted me with a cup of coffee and walked me through the facility.  Then we went over some courses they offer here at the station.

Just moved to Pacifica from my hometown Monterey, and I've been poking around online to pick up on some of the local culture.  Turns out, foggy towns foster some serious love for vintage machinery! 

At first I thought I was stumbling across another classic car show, but labeling the Pacific Coast Dream Machines a "car show" is a massive undersell.  This collection of badass tinkerers and their souped up contraptions makes the Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours pale in comparison. 

Really unbelievable stuff, definitely a must for anyone who geeks out over planes, trains, and automobiles.  Throw in the live jazz, and I'm not sure why you'd miss it.  Can't wait to check it out next April!

PCT Wins at 2018 WAVES

8234071455?profile=original

Pct was a big winner at the 2018 WAVE awards.

Actually, to be more specific, Brianna Yee-Sandoval was the big winner. Truth is, the station has accumulated many WAVES over the years and really did not submit for many this year. Two we did submit for were for work done by Brianna on our COAST-LIFE show.

And guess what? Yes, she won both. Brianna is one of several up-and-coming talents to watch here at PCT. After a stellar internship in the spring of 2017 we actually hired Bri and now she serves as our primary Half Moon Bay staffer as well as recording meetings and working on our coast life show, bringing news and information about the coastside to coastal residents.

Congrats on your big wins Bri! Looking for more amazing things coming from her. If you wish to get involved, become a member. We'd love to see what you have to offer.
